Snap: Burning bushes, but no God

While there were several burning bushes downtown Sunday at 3:26pm, God didn't appear (at least not in any obvious way). The May 9 incident destroyed an approximately 20-foot swath of evergreens between parking lots for the Citizens Commonwealth Center and the Omni hotel. There were no injuries, though at least one car might need a repainted hood.
